The 9 jewelry trends you need to know for 2020

Studded chokers and stacked piercings are defining the trajectory of the punk wave this season, with long, glittering rhinestone earrings, oversized chain link necklaces and neon bursts of color acting as equally tasty side dishes. We’re shining the spotlight on the definitive jewelry trends spotted on the runways of Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2019-2020 across the four corners of the fashion world.

1. Neo-Parisian

Classic Parisian jewelry dominated the runways, with layers of gold chains, cameo rings and pearls, whether small and subtle or worn overstated, en masse. This season, there was a sense of daring in the air, which inspired bold reinventions of the Parisian staples. At Dior, the pearl necklace was embellished with rhinestones, at Givenchy, pearls were worn asymmetrically, and the anklet resurfaced in chic, fine gold.

2. Punk

Grungy, androgynous silhouettes crossed the runways, with boxy designs and check prints evoking the rebellious spirit of the late 1970s. Jewelry was key to the look then, as it was on the runways of Fall/Winter 2019-2020, with stacks of piercings and bondage style studded chokers.

6. Color explosion

Massive, neon jewelry pieces are a surefire way to add a touch of daring to a look. Sometimes with throwback pieces, like at Jacquemus, which saw oversized hoops in Noughties-style neon cross the runway, or sometimes bourgeois, as seen at Stella McCartney, with bold, curtain-like tassel earrings.

7. Logomania

Fashion houses did not let their names go unrecognized: earrings were kissed with signatures, necklaces were stamped with logos and jewels formed tiny initials, letting designers pay homage to the heritage of the houses.

8. Oversized chain-links

Unmissable on the runways were oversized chain-link jewels, knowingly crafted with both earrings and chokers packing force into any look they adorned.

With handkerchiefs at Jacquemus, watch bracelets at Loewe, trombones at Stella McCartney and mini Eiffel Towers at Balenciaga, the only common thread running through these curiosity shop jewels spotted on the runways was their unpredictability.
